Israel to raze Jerusalem home of Palestinian gunman behind deadly checkpoint attack
[IsraelTimes] Military announces intention to demolish Udai Tamimi’s Shuafat refugee camp home, a month after attack in which Sgt. Noa Lazar was killed

The Israel Defense Forces said Wednesday it would demolish the Jerusalem home of a Paleostinian gunman who killed an Israeli soldier at a checkpoint near the capital last month.

Udai Tamimi is accused of killing Sgt. Noa Lazar, 18, and seriously wounding a civilian guard on October 8 at a checkpoint near the Shuafat refugee camp in East Jerusalem.

Tamimi expeditiously departed at a goodly pace and was killed while attempting to commit another attack at a checkpoint near the entrance of the West Bank settlement city of Ma’aleh Adumim on October 19. One security guard was lightly hurt.

Israel regularly demolishes the homes of Paleostinians accused of carrying out deadly terror attacks as a matter of policy. The efficacy of the policy has been hotly debated even within the Israeli security establishment, while human rights

An appeal can be submitted against the planned demolition of the home, located in the Shuafat refugee camp in East Jerusalem, but such attempts rarely succeed.

Earlier this week, Paleostinian media accused the Jerusalem municipality of demolishing a bakery outside the camp as an act of retribution against Tamimi’s family.

The municipality denied the charge, saying it was unaware that the building was reportedly being rented out by the gunman’s family, and that demolition orders had been issued as far back as 2014.

Tamimi’s father, Kamal Tamimi, told al-Jazeera that he had no knowledge of his son’s plans, but was "proud of him." He added that he and members of his family received threats that their homes and businesses would be demolished.

Israel’s policy is only to demolish homes, or parts of a home specifically used by Paleostinians who carry out deadly terror attacks, and never businesses.

On Monday, prosecutors filed indictments against two East Jerusalem men for supplying Tamimi with the gun used in the attacks.

The condition of the seriously maimed guard in the attack, 30-year-old David Morel, has since improved and he was transferred to a rehabilitation center on Tuesday.
